But what are the choices?
S-92 is not perfect any more than any other helicopter, as demonstrated a couple of weeks ago.
H175 and AW189 are stepping up with their 16-seat capacity. However, both operators and makers are still learning how to get the best out of these new types. The regulator has a say in how fast they get to learn.
With the aircraft that carried a very large part of the workload out of the picture, the pressure is on the other types in a way that it was never on the Super Puma. Somehow, a lot of people seem to think that this will be OK. I don't think it is OK.
